The Beast's Wife

9 #Ihateyou.

I stared wide eyed to the monster besides me that confessed his liking to me, I didn't know what to say, I didn't even think that at that moment my mind kept working... I stopped functioning.
"I..." I blubbered, my tears making my voice sounds husky.
"I hate you" I confessed the true feelings that overwhelmed me.
His once shining pale blue eyes turned into icy ones, that scared me even more, his jaw clenched and I noticed the muscles of his shoulders tensing and I started panting, not daring to look into those evil eyes again.
He remind silent for a while, then he stood up.
"I left you some close on the chair, get properly dressed; we have an important meeting to attend in less than an hour... I will come to take you when you finish" he said to me, then I heard the door closing and I questioned myself about what he just said.
What the heck is he thinking about?

The white long laced dress fitted perfectly my size, kissing every curve of my body, the heels were also white and unbelievably fashionable, they looked expensive. (I would never afford such dress and heels)
I watched my reflection in the mirror and brushed my hair slowly, thinking about earlier's events, he seemed... So hurt; if I might say.
The glint in his eyes changed in a blink of an eye after what I said to him, but it was the truth, how can I not hate, despise, detest, execrate, antagonize that thing, for killing my best friend and probably other people, no not probably it's a certain thing.
I brushed my hair in such anger that the brush cut my finger leaving blood coming out of it.
"Ouch" I said rinsing the blood in the sink.
Suddenly, a pale hand took mine and He approached my finger to his tongue, liking slowly the blood; sucking it leaving me deal with a soft moan. He watched me, his eyes red once again and I was amazed at the color.
"Shall we?" He said after a while of us looking at each other, giving me his arm to settle mine on it like gentlemen, of course I refused, looking away.
"I will not bite" he said and I ignored him again.
He let out an animal voice that I didn't recognized, I never heard such scary growling in my life, I felt scared and ended up doing what he asked from me, my hall body shaking from fear.
As we stepped out of the room, the hallway was so dark and even the walls were painted that color, there were candles placed on the walls instead of lamps which gave a very sinister atmospher, like if we were stuck at the Middle Ages, in a scary movie, but reality was something else, worse.
The hallway was very long, passing through several dark doors.
We heard only our foot steps and I unwillingly and instinctively hardened my grip on the monster's arm.
"You don't have to be afraid when I'm around you" he said brusquely, breaking the silence as we kept walking into the darkness.
"Cuz I'm the only one who can keep you safe here" I shivered as I felt a draught behind my back.
I looked at the monster's face and he was giving such a serious look, he stopped and turned his face to look at me with those evil eyes of his.
"Now dear, I want you to listen very carefully to what I have to say, be obedient in all ways and stay behind me. Don't speak unless you're allowed to and mostly, try your best to not stink fear, they can sense it" he said coldly his tongue laced with order.
"Am I clear?" He said approaching my face, I shook my head as a sign of 'yes' gulping.
"Good human" he smirked.
He surprisingly took my hand in his and I was chocked for about two seconds before my chock took another turn when we turned the hallway.
Oh my lord...
The view scared me, amazed me. The hallway was now giving full view to what looked like a whole town, dark town.
The place was full of vampires; everywhere, and they were looking above, to where we were. As soon as they saw us they bowed, all of them, like if they were in a presence of a King.
Silence overwhelmed the place and no one dared to talk, they stayed in that exact position until he spook.
"My loyal people" and they all with no exception gave him their full attentions, yellow eyes burning.
Fear was an understatement back then.
"Today, I want you to meet someone" silence and darkness.
"Meet... My human" he squeezed my hand while the other was brought to be placed on my shoulder, giving me a soft push to the front, to the vampires glares, to their view and to their questions.

Whispers have been heard, some pointing and some glaring, while some showing their fangs and their hateful looks towards me.
His hands placed themselves around my waist and I gasped, biting my lip. They all watched the move and silence was now present.
My back on his chest, his nose nuzzling my hair, I turned my head left and raised my eyes to watch him, fearing eyes asking questions.
"Now, this human is the king's property" he said referring to me, his eyes locking mine.
"No one is allowed to touch her, and if anyone laid a fang on her skin, I shall make sure to skin him or her alive with my own claws"
He looked at them, all of them, evil eyes alerting them, and no one dared to protest, they just bowed again in silence showing their sign of respect and what looked like fear.
"You..." He didn't finish as his fangs again penetrated my skin, my hands on his, while his on my waist, sending pressure and pain to it as he tightened harshly is grip.
My eyes cried and my mouth squealed, my body protesting, but the fangs kept digging into my flesh, the once white dress turning into a red one, his chest kept pushing my back.
Abruptly, his fangs released me and I panted, my nails digging his hands, I opened my eyes to see hungry vampires watching intensely the view, yellow eyes wide as the sun.
He lift me in his arms bridal style, letting my arm hang in the air, my eyes struggling to stay open.
"She, is mine" he said his wide eyes red, an evil smile on his face, as if he just proved something to them.
I peaked at the vampires and they were all bowing lower than before saying in a very low voice, not a whisper but a low voice that echoed throw the space, giving a shill to all human beings.
"Long live his Majesty, Long live his Majesty" they kept repeating, I looked up at him, and the blood on his mouth dripped on my lower lip, he looked at me and placed a long kiss on my lips, it burnt.
The King of the cold bloods kissed me in front of all his people.
"Long live his Majesty"
